While the Philadelphia Eagles rostered a wide receiver that was dubbed the “Cowboy Killer”, Dallas had a bigger and better version of DeSean Jackson. Dez Bryant seemed to save his best performances for when he was lined up across the team with the ugly green jerseys. My third favorite Cowboys win versus the Eagles was no …
The Dallas Cowboys versus Philadelphia Eagles rivalry hasn’t always been the fiercest in the division. Hierarchy in the NFC East ebbs and flows with essentially each coming year. That’s apparent by the overstated fact that no team has repeated as NFC East champions since the Eagles won four straight from 2001-2004. Fitting for America’s Team, their …
The Dallas Cowboys versus New York Giants rivalry has had many close games that came down to the final drive. My favorite three Cowboys wins versus division rivals continues today with the last game of the Giants segment. We have already covered the games I have ranked three and two, and you can read them by …
Yesterday I kicked off the New York Giants segment in my series of the top three Dallas Cowboys wins versus their division rivals. Number three on the list was an unexpected win during a season where nothing seemed to be going right. A win like that may seem meaningless, but it kicked off the Jason Garrett …
After wrapping up the top three wins in Dallas Cowboys history versus the Washington franchise, the next team on the list is the New York Giants. The Cowboys and Giants have a storied rivalry with so many good and bad memories both recent and historic. From Aikman versus Simms to Romo versus Manning, there have been …
The Dallas Cowboys versus Washington Commanders/Football Team/Redskins rivalry goes all the way back to the Cowboys’ inaugural season of 1960. It may no longer be deemed culturally appropriate, but two super fans were a staple of the rivalry. Crazy Ray and Chief Zee playfully jabbed each other during games, and provided entertainment for the crowd during …
Any win in the NFL is a good win considering the high level of competition. A win against a division rival feels like double points. We continue today ranking the best wins the Cowboys have had versus each division rival. To read the previous article, and see the third best win Dallas has had versus Washington, …
When it comes to developmental leagues for professional sports, the NFL is behind the ball. Aside from college football, there are really no other avenues to develop talent before bringing up a player to the roster. Major League Baseball has AAA and AA teams they refer to as the farming system. The NBA has summer leagues …
It’s always fun to take a trip down memory lane when it comes to our sports teams. As a Cowboys fan, social media loves to remind us that memories are all we have. In reality that’s not the case. Every team has ups and downs, and good memories can be had without a championship in the …
Every offseason there are a handful of players who do not make the NFL Hall of Fame that have us scratching our heads. First ballot Hall of Famers don’t grow on trees, so we don’t fret if players don’t get in during their first year of eligibility. The common thought process is that the player will …
This time of year, it’s routine to hop on social media and see that the Dallas Cowboys “are interested in Player X”. It will be a common theme in the next couple of months, and most of the rumors will be just that, rumors. However, the latest player tied to the Cowboys just actually could make …
Today we find out who the best team in the NFC East is! Well, at least on paper. Nobody likes to celebrate paper champions before we’ve even flipped to July on the calendar, but it’s cool to have slight bragging rights until the season starts. If you follow #CowboysNation and specifically my very own articles, you …
There are a couple of positions on the defense that the Dallas Cowboys have relatively ignored for the past decade and a half. The defensive philosophy didn’t call for Dallas to invest high draft capital or big dollars in free agency on defensive tackle or safety. That thinking has changed since the arrival of Dan Quinn. …
We previously touched on the fact that the NFL essentially has five premier positions that dictate how well a team can perform. There is quarterback, wide receiver, left tackle, EDGE, and the last one is cornerback. Having talented defensive backs on the outside of the formation is an absolute must in today’s NFL. Today I continue …
Linebacker is probably the position on the Dallas Cowboys roster with the least depth at the end of the day. Sitting here typing this before any analysis of the other NFC East teams, I can’t say for sure if they also have the same problem. This article is a continuation of position rankings for each team …
As the years pass, many more players are entering the NFL as pure athletes capable of playing multiple positions. One of these positions is defensive end. The defensive end position has evolved. Players were once regarded as either run stoppers or pass rushers, but never both. Gone are the traditional monikers, and the defensive end position …
One of the most important positions on the NFL rosters is often taken for granted. Having capable interior defensive linemen is one of the keys to a successful defensive unit. Whether the lineman is a space eating 1-technique or a smaller and quicker 3-technique, a good defensive tackle can change the game for a defense. The …
You hear it said all the time in the NFL. Winning starts in the trenches. The big men up front dictate how successful or unsuccessful an offense functions before skill players can even make an impact. All four teams in the NFC East have key pieces on their offensive line that make life easier for their …
Aside from stellar quarterback play, it has become apparent over the past few years that the key to a successful offense is it’s wide receivers. Even a great quarterback has trouble running an offense when his wide receivers don’t have enough talent to steadily contribute. There are some great wide receiver corps in the NFC East, …
The NFL has converted to a passing league over the past few seasons. Gone are the days where just one stud pass catcher surrounded by role players is enough for an offense to be successful. Most teams either need an elite wide receiver corps to keep up, or they need an elite tight end to make …
The NFL might be trying to devalue the running back position, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an integral part of a team. The Las Vegas Raiders placed the franchise tag on 2022 NFL rushing champion Josh Jacobs, and as of today June 12th, he has yet to sign it. All reports say Jacobs is “making …
